![]() CC actually makes people go back to manually updateing their addons, and that says alot. This makes its much easier for the abyss of addon-users to use this instead of an manager that wont read your addon folder, wont show you version numbers, wont allow you to update without externals, and simply is to clumsy and feels like a 10 mile step into the past. ![]() My point is and was as simple as : The problem with wowmatrix is that it works, its simple and does nothing more than what you whant a updater to do. I know that the philosofy of wowmatrix is genuine wrong, and my post maybe derailed this thread, but no Im not a non caring person. Quote from TorhalDo you have any idea what the hell we have been talking about? Or are you another self-entitled person who simply doesn't care? You just want it handed to you and you want it to work and if it doesn't, fuck everyone. It sounds to me like you don't give two shits about the hours on end the authors put into their work. Otherwise you obfuscate the code making it hard (but not impossible) to read and duplicate. ![]() What you sell is support, or accept donations. Beyond that, instead of downloading the addon and hosting it themselves, whenever a WoWMatrix user updates their addons, the client pulls directly from the host site - stealing that site's bandwidth and costing them money.Īlso: It's rather hard to sell open-source code since it's OPEN. WoWMatrix strips the authors of these abilities, and in fact completely hides the fact that there ARE authors at all. The UI sites host the addons, and give the authors the tools required to update them and interact with their users on bug reports. I'm sincerely wondering what reality you're from. If the devs are really that pissed that wowmatrix is profiting off them why don't the devs sell the mods themselves and stop making it for free? We are talking about free mods that require 3rd party sites to get their name out there. If wow matrix updates my mods i don't really care if the dev doesn't take the steps to protect their content. Quote from kjcdudeI assume you're referring to this.
